pense of the State, and yet, Northern Repub-
lcans have been willing, out of the common
treasury, TO pay to the Southern States q por-
ton of this money two or three times greater
than to the same number of people in the
Northern States. In the last Congress the Sem
ate of the United States passed a bill making q
large and liberal provision to aid the States in

Fatal Accident.

Fatal Accident.
Last Tuesday afternoon about o'clock,
Charley Bost, young man about 16 years of
age, and who lives with his parents on the
South side of the river, met with an accident
that cost him his life; the particulars, as near
as could be learned are about as follows
For some time past the young man has been
hauling gravel from the pit just above town
for Messrs. Hill & Troutwine, but for the
last few days had been idle. On Tuesday he
left his home, came to town, and went up to
the pit to draw his wages when just the 9TH
er side of the cemetery he overlook two of
the gravel wagons returning to the pit. He
saw that William Ross was driving the sec
ond. Being very intimate with him, he
alighted from the first wagon and jumped on
the second; they were sitting conyersing to-
gether, when he made the remark to Ross
that as the dust was flying SO, they had better
get ahead. At this Mr.. Ross turned to one
side of the road and was trotting his horses
gently along; when they reached the side of
the first team they gave a sudden start and
began running at a lively rate, and one OF
the lines was ierked from the drivers hands.
Being unable to stop them, they ran some
distance, when he pulled with the one line
in order to head them toward the fence, in
doing SO they ran over small stump; knock
ing the boards from the wagon and throwing
Charley underneath, dragging him some dis,
tance. On picking him up he was found te
be dead, his neck being broken and the bach
part of his head crushed in, an ugly gast
Just back of the left ear, and terrible
bruise on the left limb between the knee and
ankle. He was brought to town and taken to
Bitzer's undertaking room. It was deemed
unnecessary to hold an inquest, as the facts
clearly demonstrated the fact that it was ac-
cidental killing. He was removed to Ms
home later in the evening.

Don't Wait.

There are many circumstances under
which man should not wait and in fact
when it is dangerous to wait. When any
member of the family is sick and in ill health
you should not wait to see if nature will not
restore the patient without even as much as
an assistant, but proceed at once to Saur
Balsley's drug and medicine depot ard get
such medicines as are best calculated to de-
stroy the intruder in the shortest possible
time, and with the least danger to life and
happiness. Saur & Balsley always have a
full line of the very best remedies known
constantly OF hand, fresh and direct from
the manufacturers at prices within the reach
of everybody. And it is not only dangerous
to wait and think when You are sick and in
i'll health. but if you have good bargain Of
fered you to-day take it in, don't wait until
tomorrow or until some one else gobbles it
in and you can only stand and see what you
have missed.

NJ. c. s. L. NJ. Railroad stockhoIders

NJ. G. & l.. NJ. Railroad Stockholders
Suit.
The case of Sturges VS.. the stockholders
of the Mansfield, Coldwater d Lake Michi-
gan Railroad Company, came up for hear.
ing Tuesday, on exceptions to the master 8
report, before Hon. Judge Nicholas. of
Wooster, o. N. L. Brewer, of this city rep
senting the Tifin stockholders, was present.
An application was made for the continu-
ance of the case, by Mr.. Cunningham, of
Lima, representing Charles Foster and 9TH
ers, for this reason:
By an agreement between the M.C.&L.
NJ. r. R. and Pennsylvania Company, made
in 1873, the Pennsylvania Company was to
pay the interest upon the bonds secured by
the mortgage on the road-bed. The Penn
sylvania Company did not pay the interest
as agreed and the principal then became
due. Scott & Cass, as the trustees of the
Pennsylvania Company, then filed a bill in
the Circuit Court of the United States, for
the Northern District Of Ohio, against the
NJ. @. d L. M. R. R. Co., to foreclose the
mortgage by reason of the default. Charles
4
Scribner, of Toledo, for the company, set up
the defense that there was no default-that
the Pennsylvania Company was to pay it.
The board of directors of the NJ. G. &L.M.
R. R. Co.. who were elected by the Pennsyl-
vania Company, issued positive order to
withdraw the defense, and discharged
Scribner, and Cass & Scott, as trustees, took
decree and the road was sold and bid in by
the Pennsylvania Company. These facts
have Just come to the knowledge of the
stockholders and Foster proposes to file a
bill in the Circuit Court of the Northern
District of Ohio, to set aside that decree on
account of this fraud, and to restore the
property to the NJ. G. & L. NJ. R. R. Co.,
which will put it in shape to pay all its debts.
A continuance was granted to allow this to
be done.
Whatever may be the final result of the
above action, one thing is sure twenty

Runaway Accident.

On Wednesday evening last Commissioner
Henry Rohrs and L. Y. Richards met with
quite an accident, which might have been
more serious than it was. They had driven
in from Ridgeville, with one-horse rig from
the stable of r. Jones, and were on their way
to the gravel pit on the Miller place, when,
upon crossing the railroad track at the upper
end of Washington street, their horse took
fright and ran, upsetting the buggy and
throwing the occupants out, seriously but
not dangerously iniuring both. Mr.. Rohrs sus-
tanned injuries in the shoulder and side, and
Mr.. Richards principally in the back, which
confined both to the house, the latter still
being unable to be out. Drs. Shoemaker and
Haly attended to their wants, and while their
injuries were not dangerous it was narrow
escape from fatal accident.
